Iracema by José Martiniano de Alencar
"Iracema" by José de Alencar is a novel published in 1865. Set during Brazil's colonial period, the story follows a forbidden romance between Iracema, a Tabajara indigenous woman, and Martim, a Portuguese colonist allied with her people's enemies. Their union produces Moacir, symbolically portrayed as the first true Brazilian. Through this legendary tale, Alencar reimagines the founding of Ceará and explores the cultural and racial mixing that shaped Brazilian identity, blending indigenous
tradition with European influence in an allegorical narrative about colonization. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
